Janet Jackson, who can go from overweight to red-carpet ready in several weeks, says she will chronicle the issues behind her dramatic, headline-making weight fluctuations in an upcoming book.          
       "I’m writing a book on my journey of weight loss and weight gain," the 41-year- star said at a press roundtable for "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?"     
       "[I'm] really coming from the soul with it, and what I was going through at different times in my life and what possibly brought it about for myself," she says of the yet untitled project.      
       The book is to also include what she did "nutrition-wise" to shed the pounds "when she needed to," but warns, "It's different for everyone."
      Meanwhile, Jackson has dealt head on with rumors that she's about to marry her long-time partner, music producer Jermaine Dupri.
      "I don't need a piece of paper to validate what we have," Jackson told TV show Extra. "That's just me though."
      And if you're wondering whether she has any marital advice, Miss Jackson says she's not qualified to answer that.
      "Don't ask me that question.  You want to ask somebody who's been married twice and divorced twice?"
